Important Information
Students are expected to
submit only their own work on papers and examinations. While you may discuss
the assignments with others in the class, collaboration on the preparation of a
paper is not permitted. Unless the assignment specifically directs otherwise,
papers should be based entirely on your own study of the assigned material and
not on secondary sources of any kind.
Turning in someone else's
work, whether from printed sources or material available electronically, as if
it were your own constitutes plagiarism. Plagiarism is an act of intellectual
dishonesty. The academic consequences of plagiarism range from failure for the
tainted assignment to failure for the course, depending on the seriousness of
the offense. All such offenses are reported to the college dean, who will
impose additional administrative consequences, which can include suspension or
expulsion from the university.
Examples of plagiarism include, but are not limited to the following: turning
in another student's paper as if it were your own; collaboration with another
student in writing the paper; quoting, paraphrasing, or borrowing ideas from
published or unpublished material written by someone other than yourself,
without specific acknowledgment of the source.
If you have any questions about what constitutes plagiarism, you should consult
with your section instructor.
